There are several places in the kernel where wait_on_bit is not followed
by a memory barrier (for example, in drivers/md/dm-bufio.c:new_read).
On architectures with weak memory ordering, it may happen that memory
accesses that follow wait_on_bit are reordered before wait_on_bit and
they may return invalid data.
Fix this class of bugs by introducing a new function "test_bit_acquire"
that works like test_bit, but has acquire memory ordering semantics.

Define const_*() variants of the non-atomic bitops to be used when
the input arguments are compile-time constants, so that the compiler
will be always able to resolve those to compile-time constants as
well. Those are mostly direct aliases for generic_*() with one
exception for const_test_bit(): the original one is declared
atomic-safe and thus doesn't discard the `volatile` qualifier, so
in order to let optimize code, define it separately disregarding
the qualifier.
Add them to the compile-time type checks as well just in case.

Currently, there is a mess with the prototypes of the non-atomic
bitops across the different architectures:
ret bool, int, unsigned long
nr int, long, unsigned int, unsigned long
addr volatile unsigned long *, volatile void *
Thankfully, it doesn't provoke any bugs, but can sometimes make
the compiler angry when it's not handy at all.
Adjust all the prototypes to the following standard:
ret bool retval can be only 0 or 1
nr unsigned long native; signed makes no sense
addr volatile unsigned long * bitmaps are arrays of ulongs
Next, some architectures don't define 'arch_' versions as they don't
support instrumentation, others do. To make sure there is always the
same set of callables present and to ease any potential future
changes, make them all follow the rule:
* architecture-specific files define only 'arch_' versions;
* non-prefixed versions can be defined only in asm-generic files;
and place the non-prefixed definitions into a new file in
asm-generic to be included by non-instrumented architectures.
Finally, add some static assertions in order to prevent people from
making a mess in this room again.
I also used the %__always_inline attribute consistently, so that
they always get resolved to the actual operations.

Move generic non-atomic bitops from the asm-generic header which
gets included only when there are no architecture-specific
alternatives, to a separate independent file to make them always
available.
Almost no actual code changes, only one comment added to
generic_test_bit() saying that it's an atomic operation itself
and thus `volatile` must always stay there with no cast-aways.
